An Afghan silk carpet is rather unusual and something special. This is exactly what this hand knotted silk carpet embodies. The colours are in the red-brown spectrum and have an earthy and calming effect. At the same time it has a beautiful silky sheen that only real silk can create.

Afghan rug

Afghanistan has a long-standing history of craftsmanship in rug weaving. A large part of the country is mountainous. The best-known Afghan rugs come from the north. These include hand-knotted Khal Mohammadi and Afghan Akhche rugs. Afghan oriental rugs are generally recognised by their warm dark red colours and the so-called gul ornaments. These are octagonal patterns that, because of their shape, are also referred to as elephant’s foot.

Pure Silk

Pure silk is among the most luxurious natural materials. Its combination of fineness and durability is unmatched among textile fibres. Even today, silk is a symbol of true luxury. The silkworm moth’s caterpillar produces silk when spinning its cocoon. This natural silk is then carefully harvested by hand and woven into fibres. Silk has a distinctive sheen that stands out from afar. It changes beautifully depending on the light, revealing stunning facets. At the same time, pure silk is exceptionally soft, crease-resistant and heat-insulating.

Hand-knotted

Traditionally hand-knotted rugs still represent the highest quality standard among all types of rug. Depending on the knotting technique, these rugs are extremely hard-wearing and can last for generations. The finer and denser a rug is knotted, the more detailed the ornaments and patterns that can be shown in the pile. At the same time, a very fine oriental rug requires significantly more manual work, as well as a higher level of experience and skill from the weaver. Knot density is therefore also a key factor in the value of hand-knotted rugs. However, quality is not directly linked to knot density. A more coarsely knotted rug can still be made to an excellent standard.

Care & Fair

Following our ethical principles, we at Nain Trading are declared supporters of the organization CARE & FAIR. The goal is joint action by carpet dealers worldwide to give children from carpet weaver families in India and Pakistan the foundation for socially protected growing up. This improves the situation for the whole family in the long term. A child-friendly childhood for a life worth living - that is the mission.

All went well. The illustration of the carpet on your web site gave a good representation of its appearance. The price quoted, which I assume included any duty that needed to be paid when the carpet ...
